·Doesn't look good to me. I like the stock back fender, could maybe even go a little shorter.

I love personalizing bikes but not a fan of this fender. Just my opinion.

If you think you can pull it off, and you like that style fender, go for it! It's your bike? I would try to trim it up enough to see the tire, or maybe a window?
2 days ago I would have said **** no, but....... yesterday I saw a Harley riding out with a fender like that. Fender looked good but paint job looked Fri Ken awesome. If your going to go with a full fender make sure you have a paint job that shows it off.
Yahhh i think that look is for a vintage type??? But like they say...... Sweet paint goes a long way!!!!!!!!!! and choppin it up with some style wont hurt either.... Like some button to press that will lower the fender to the pic u posted or hide it so the tire will show???? Hey u never know im sure it can be done...... Thinkin outta da box???? I imagined the air ryde lol
Don't care for it. I dont really care for how much our fenders already wrap around. I prefer the straight out the back like on the soft tails.... Night train or like the super magna back on 87 or so. I've actually looking at shops to see what can be done with mine probably have the extra lip on the bottom cut or have the fender chopped shorter so 1/4 to 1/2 of the tire sticks out past the end of the fender. But to each his own. Just seen a customH-D with fender like that and it had LED lights put into cuts which looked pretty sharp.

Holy **** I didn't mean to hit a touchy subject. LOL I would say be going for a more wrapped look not all the way to the ground. Cause I agree showing off the big tire and my custom wheel (sharpe marker) pinstripe. Each is his own as someone else said. I'm ok with the current fender, just not a big fan of it.
Also depending on what is done with it could change it a lot too like cutting a point in it to match the reaper front fender...something to give it a little shape would kick a$$ I do agree the stock fender does need some work...and the more I look at it and think of things you could do to this full wrap the more I kinda like it. What's the difference with adding this fender or making the Stryker looking like a mini bagger it's all personal choice.K9Stryker said:

I'm currently working on one now. I have already laid out my cut lines on a fender. I just need to order the fender to splice in. It might look like crap but you wont know until you try. Besides, I have three extra fenders to play with not counting the one on the bike. Four if you count the blue one I already hached up.
